tides of change

I watched the tide come in
Like my life it changes every single day

The birds fly free from this caged existance
Not bound to quiet earth.

Sand is cold in the dying sun
Warmth leeching away like all feelings.

.How I once felt safe here in this place
A quagmire pulls me down deep.

I can't breath anymore
All that was me is dead at the bottom.

When I float back to the surface
I will be a changed man for them.

The tide is ebbing the sun is gone
Lifes waters can wash us all clean.
